So I just got planetstrike and the defender does not take advantage of scout or infiltrate but they can outflank. The defender also does not have a board edge to determine where to outflank from. The book also states that outflanking is represented by units scrambling into battle but does not directly reference the Scramble! rule which states that all defender's units arriving from reserve and not deep striking move onto a random board edge in relation to the attacker's deployment zone. Should one assume that the outflanking rule is replaced by Scramble? Are all reserves outflanking due to following the Scramble! rule? Does the astropath allow you to re-roll for all units scrambling or only outflankers?

As I don't have Plantstrike I will take a guess and say:
IT NO WERK CAUZ GW NO PLAYTEST!

That is my official answer until i get my arse to GW and buy Planetstrike.

I'm pretty sure the Astropath only says "outflanking" in his entry, so I would doubt it works for anything else.

Apart from that, I don't have Planet Strike either.

Huh . Good catch. Our club is organizating 4 Planetstrike games for this month, and since I´ll be the resident IG player, this has major implications to my strategy.

Planetstrike = Apocalypse with Walls

Rules don't apply.
